What to know

ADSY matches the Traditional Calendar through May 21 and then extends the student schedule by 25 days.
The 25 additional days are six separate continuous ranges because Memorial Day, observed Juneteenth and weekends interrupt the schedule.
The ADSY extension brings the derived student-day total to 200: 175 regular days plus 25 additional days.
Five named FOCUS elementary schools remain on the Traditional Calendar even though they are in the ELEVATE region.

Editorial summary

How the Fort Worth ISD ADSY Calendar works

ADSY students start Monday, August 10, 2026, and follow the Traditional Calendar through Friday, May 21, 2027. That includes the October no-class stretch, Thanksgiving week, winter break and spring break. Five staff days during the regular year have no student attendance.

The additional schedule begins Monday, May 24. ADSY classes meet May 24-28; June 1-4, 7-11, 14-17 and 21-25; and June 28-29. Memorial Day on May 31 and observed Juneteenth on June 18 remain district holidays, which is why the 25 days are split into six separate ranges.

Fort Worth ISD says ADSY supports acceleration, small-group instruction and enrichment at participating ELEVATE campuses. Five FOCUS elementary schools in the ELEVATE region use the Traditional Calendar instead, so families should verify the calendar assigned to their campus.

Source and scope

About the Fort Worth ISD 2026–2027 ADSY calendar

Data source

Dates come from Fort Worth ISD's board-approved 2026-2027 ADSY Calendar PDF and the district Academic Calendars page. The PDF states that the Board approved the calendar on April 28, 2026.

How dates are handled

Regular student dates and the 25 additional ADSY days were retained. The added days were stored as six separate continuous ranges so weekends and district holidays are not presented as instruction days. Employee-only training and dates after June 29 were excluded.

Fort Worth ISD labels the dates subject to change. Families at ELEVATE and FOCUS campuses should confirm which calendar their school follows.
